NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Arch Manning, QB, Texas Image for Tex

I imagine there’s a chance the Giants eschew quarterbacks once again in the 2025 NFL Draft so they can use this pick on the quarterback they really want. Even if they draft Shedeur Sanders, they would move on to Arch Manning if given the chance.

The grandson of Archie Manning and the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, Arch Manning has been a highly coveted prospect for quite some time and is the favorite to be chosen first overall whenever he declares.

NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU Image for LSU

The Jets need to start over at quarterback. Justin Fields has a chance to improve, but New York probably needs a new quarterback.

Garrett Nussmeier has great arm talent and has made the most out of his opportunity replacing Jayden Daniels.

NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson Image for Clem

The Panthers have severe issues generating pressure on the quarterback. They need help at defensive tackle and the edge rush.

T.J. Parker had a breakout sophomore campaign. He has impressive instincts and was very productive.

NFL Team Logo for Patriots New England Patriots: Kayden Proctor, OT, Alabama Image for ALA

New England’s offensive line is in rough shape. Lots of help is needed to protect Drake Maye.

Kayden Proctor is a colossal, 360-pound blocker. He has great potential, but has some character concerns.

NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn Image for Aub

The Cardinals have had a flimsy defensive line ever since J.J. Watt and Chandler Jones departed, so some talent is needed up front.

Keldric Faulk has been a monster for Auburn. He has a great mix of power and speed on the edge.

NFL Team Logo for Seahawks Seattle Seahawks: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Image for OSU

The Seahawks need to go back to their roots, which means improving their secondary so that it plays as well as it did in the Legion of Boom days.

Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years.

NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina Image for

Will the Browns finally take a chance on a quarterback? They have to at some point.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

NFL Team Logo for Saints New Orleans Saints: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Image for UT

The Saints will have to replace Marshon Lattimore in the early rounds of the next two drafts.

Jermod McCoy is an instinctive cornerback who tackles well.

NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Rueben Bain Jr., DE, Miami Image for MIA

The Titans had the second-worst pressure rate in the NFL last season. They’ll need to add to their pass rush, especially with Harold Landry gone.

Rueben Bain was very productive as a freshman and has a ton of upside.

NFL Team Logo for Buccaneers Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Suntarine Perkins, LB, Ole Miss Image for Omiss

Tampa’s pass rush has declined in recent years, so upgrades will be needed on the edge. Haason Reddick was added for just one year.

Suntarine Perkins is a dangerous pass rusher, but needs to bulk up for the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Chargers Los Angeles Chargers: Peter Woods, DE, Clemson Image for Clem

The Chargers have a very weak defensive line that must be addressed with multiple upgrades.

Peter Woods is a disruptive interior lineman.

NFL Team Logo for Bears Chicago Bears: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami Image for MIA

Chicago bolstered its interior offensive line, but it could still use an early pick on a tackle in the near future.

Francis Mauigoa has immense upside as a potential left tackle in the NFL.

NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Image for Wash

The Cowboys don’t have much at receiver outside of CeeDee Lamb.

Denzel Boston is a huge receiver with big-play potential.

NFL Team Logo for Steelers Pittsburgh Steelers: Antonio Kite, CB, Alabama Image for ALA

The Steelers didn’t have great play from their cornerbacks in large part last year, so they’ll need an upgrade at the position.

Antonio Kite started as a backup at Alabama, but he has the upside to be a good starter.

NFL Team Logo for Colts Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Hill Jr., LB, Texas Image for Tex

The Colts haven’t properly replaced Shaq Leonard, so they’ll have to do that in the near future.

Anthony Hill Jr. covered the field very well to begin his collegiate career.

NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Keon Sabb, S, Alabama Image for ALA

The Raiders’ safety situation is a mess. They had problems last year, and now both of their starters were free agents.

Keon Sabb has been a tough defender for Alabama and Michigan.
